🔍 Key Concepts

• Human body’s response to salt intake at sea • Effects of dehydration and fluid balance • Basic principles of first aid for heat and seasickness

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to your body when you take in a lot of salt but not enough fresh water. • Which choice would make a survival situation at sea worse rather than better? • Consider whether the body would want to hold on to water or get rid of it after drinking salt water.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option would increase dehydration instead of treating it. • Check which statements about seasickness and heat cramps are commonly taught in basic first aid/survival courses. • Eliminate any answer that sounds like a benefit of salt water rather than a risk.
